Preserving, enjoying, and riding three speed hub-geared bicycles.

Getting the word out, old school.

moosemoose would love it if you came on the Three Speed Ride on Sunday March 20th!

You know we here at Society of Three Speeds are old fashioned. If we weren’t, would we like three speed hubs so much?

Anyways, one of the old fashioned things we like to do is get the word out about upcoming events by paper means. We print up a bunch of post cards and send them out to local members and other people on our Postcard Club list. (Not on the Postcard Club list, but would like to be? Go here to get on it!) But sometimes we run across a nice three speed on the street, and we like letting them know about the ride as well!

That’s where the magic of laminators come into play! We laminate a few of those postcards, then punch a hole in the corner. Through that hole we feed a rubber band and tie it, so we can strap it to someone’s handlebars!

Here’s a nice Raleigh LTD-3 that got tagged.

And here was a Schwinn Collegiate that got the SoTS treatment!

So if you’ve got a three speed parked around Portland, don’t be surprised to find a flyer strapped to your handlebars! And even if you didn’t get a flyer, come to our ride on Sunday March 20th!
